I have fans all over the world ;-)

Don't forget about the parent that tells you how many D-1 offers his kid has and that kid ends up playing mens league against me at 19 years old.

Pretty good list there. I can think of a few parents who meet all those requirements and then some.

Top 25 Psychotic Parents in Eastern PA, anyone? I'm sure Matt could put it together, though not without taking his fair share of crap for it. Be sure to look at number of ejections as well as number of posts on Breakaway! while making the list, Matt.

While it would be funny....I need to stear clear of such a list.

Unfortunate but understandable. On a side note, when does the next issue of Breakaway! come out?

You've got a team jacket for every team your son has played on -- last count you have 27 jackets.

The worst thing about all the other parents? They don't know how good your son really is!

You've driven anywhere to have your son on a skating treadmill.

You've special ordered your son's sticks from Easton in his own pattern with his name on it.

You tape your son's stick before every game - He's 18.

You've gone out on the ice to place the nets and repair any holes in the ice that might effect your son's game.

I think we should all thank tb for coming over from the eteamz youth board and spicing this place up.
this place is on FIRE!!!!

Nice ones dropdpuck..lol

You think very big loss is a result of a "fluky" bounce.

To be fair to the Quakers its not as if they are the only org. with crazy parents, but as a Hawks player I can see why you're a little biased.

But I don't typically see a West Chester parent act too out of control, and i am at Iceline a good amount.

The worst thing I have seen was out of a Haverford High parent last year when her son was kicked out of the game, he tried to go back onto the ice to get his 2nd place trophy but the Iceworks guard wouldn't let him on the ice so the kids parent started mouthing off to the guard and grabbed him and tried to move him out of the way, than she started yelling at the P-R fans at how much their team "sucked"
